Bolivian President Rodrigo Paz announced the dissolution of the Ministry of Justice, a decision made following the scandal generated by former minister Freddy Vidovic, who concealed information about a three-year sentence for corruption.

Rodrigo Paz, who took office on November 8, stated that the ministry was used by the left, which has been in power for twenty years, to persecute the opposition. He emphasized that he is determined to put an end to the "ministry of persecution" and the "ministry of injustice." Although he initially announced the replacement of Vidovic with Jorge Franz Garcia, the abolition of the ministry raises questions about the future responsibilities related to justice in his government.
